NORTHCOM Plans 5 Day Martial Law Exercise (Oct. 15-20)


By Lee Rogers - Intel Strike Contributing Writer


The United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) has just announced plans for an anti-terrorism exercise called Vigilant Shield 08. The exercise which is slated to run from October 15th to October 20th is described as a way to prepare, prevent and respond to any number of national crises. The exercise is simply a test case scenario for the implementation of martial law. Although the description of the exercise is disturbing, USNORTHCOM also announced that they are more prepared for a natural disaster and a terrorist attack after they used their response to Hurricane Katrina as a test laboratory. During Hurricane Katrina, authorities violated the constitutional rights of citizens by stealing people’s firearms and even relocating people against their will. These announcements are incredibly disturbing on a number of levels as the nature of Vigilant Shield 08 and the admission that Hurricane Katrina was used as a test laboratory shows that the government is actively preparing the military and government institutions for martial law.

Below is the full press release from USNORTHCOM describing Vigilant Shield 08. Also check out the Vigilant Shield 08 fact sheet by clicking here.

North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command along with U.S. Pacific Command, the Department of Homeland Security as well as local, state and other federal responders will exercise their response abilities against a variety of potential threats during Exercise Vigilant Shield ‘08, a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff-designated, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM)-sponsored, and U.S. Joint Forces Command-supported Department of Defense exercise for homeland defense and defense support of civil authorities missions.

VS-08 will be conducted concurrent with Top Officials 4 (TOPOFF 4), the nation’s premier exercise of terrorism preparedness sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, and several other linked exercises as part of the National Level Exercise 1-08. These linked exercises will take place Ocober 15-20 and are being conducted throughout the United States and in conjunction with several partner nations including Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, as well as the Territory of Guam.

VS-08 and National Level Exercise 1-08 will provide local, state, tribal, interagency, Department of Defense, and non-governmental organizations and agencies involved in homeland security and homeland defense the opportunity to participate in a full range of exercise scenarios that will better prepare participants to prevent and respond to national crises. The participating organizations will conduct a multi-layered, civilian-led response to a national crisis...

because I didn't see the previous post. Scary evil stuff.

Our great Nation has been hijacked and we have nothing to say about any of it.

What's in all those Mexican trucks? Really.

Timing is too conspicuous, and the 'accidental' cross-country NUKE transport as well.

Bush-co could care less if we all perish, unknowingly. No one left for him to explain his dirty deeds to. We're invisible to him.

Hope Pelosi has time to think about that impeachment issue we were all demanding.
too late now, anyway.

Wish I was leaving this country for a safer place..while I still might be able to.

I just realized it's a dupe.

It is a scary thing. What is this cabal up to?

I recall there were several military agencies that were preforming drills on 9/11 and were rendered virtually helpless at the time of the "attacks." Anyone have an uneasy feeling about this in that light on top of the fact they are even mentioning martial law.

nothing has stopped them from trying it again. (impeachment)

... in which that precise scenario was being gamed by MI-5 and MI-6, supposedly with help from the CIA and other US intel agencies, and even included the same stations where the bombs went off. For added excitement, a bus that was blown up in the scenario was, in fact, blown up in London that day.

So it's not like the reptiles haven't used this tactic before.

The most important agency tasked with protecting not only America but Canada, Cuba, Hawaii, Mexico and the Caicos Islands (amongst other off shore locations) can't even get their website to work?

Great.
